they gave me a modem for broadband but then changed it after 2 days to LAN settings which are local area connection settings the pages are sluggish and not the same as I had with BT!
DO YOU THINK ITS RIGHT FOR THEM TO DO THIS AND IS IT THE SAME ?

I take it you probably had a Windows broadband connectoid before and now the connection is made by the modem's firmware. In any case, they are apparently trying to help you resolve your issue.
Your problem may be caused by many things. It's probably either the signal quality received by your modem, a bad Ethernet connection, or a corrupted TCP/IP stack.
You should do ping tests to determine at which level the issue arises. To do that...
- click Start->Run, type "cmd" and press OK
- in the black window type "ipconfig" and then press ENTER
- the default gateway shown there should be your modem's address
- copy that gateway address to your browser's address bar to access your modem's configuration pages
- in there, look for a status option and check the gateway shown there, this is your ISP gateway
- go back in the black windows and do the following ping tests
- type "ping MODEM" where MODEM is your modem's address
- type "ping ISP_GATEWAY" where ISP_GATEWAY is of course replaced by the address retrieved from the modem's page
- check the statistics shown after each of those two tests; if you have lost packets pinging the modem, type "netsh int ip reset log.txt" and restart your computer. If you only have errors pinging the ISP_GATEWAY, then it is likely to be caused by a signal issue and you should recontact your ISP to investigate.

What exaclty did theye change. If you are running an ethernet cord from your modem to your computer, the speed will not change. If they switched you to USB or something then maybe.
Click on START, RUN, then type CMD click ok, The type this exactly ipconfig /flushdns
This will flush the dns resolver cache and speed you up sometimes, but the signal should never change. Sometimes with broadband if a grip of people are logged on then it will lower your bandwith. Are you using a router? Make sure you are conncecting directly to the modem beofre you blame the company. Alot of companies won't support the router or a wireless conection even though they work.
